We analyze the optimal combination of direct and indirect taxes in the presence of tax avoidance. Proportional commodity taxes remain part of the optimal tax structure when avoidance is possible, even when the Atkinson–Stiglitz conditions hold. Taxing consumption, despite avoidance, enhances the...

Motivated by finding a way to deal with Compositional Data (CoDa) with or without zeroes in a unified way, we build upon the previous projective geometry viewpoint of Faugeras (2023) and use the tools provided by the exterior product and Grassmann’s algebra. These allow to represent higher...
